Use of Cookies

Our Websites may use tracking technologies such as "cookies" to provide users with tailored information upon each return visit. Cookies are a common part of many websites that allow small text files to be sent by a website, accepted by your web browser, and then placed on your hard drive as recognition token. Every time you visit the Website, cookies may record basic technical information, such as your domain name, the address of the last URL visited prior to the Websites, your browser, and your operating system. You do not need to enable cookies to visit the Websites; however, some parts of the Websites will be impossible to use if cookies are disabled. Cookies do not contain any Personal Information.

We may also retain all or a subset of your Personal Information for business or legal purposes.

Protection of Information

While We will take reasonable security measures to protect your Personal Information, no transmission of data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, given the electronic nature of the Internet, by using the Websites, you accept the inherent risks in doing so, including, but not limited to, the security risks of interception, unauthorized access, the risks of corruption and the risks of viruses or other harmful devices.
